Services

Companies may suffer losses unexpectedly due to “don’t know”. Possibility suffering losses would increase especially when conducting unusual transactions or making international transactions.

It is the same for tax and when making unusual transactions or making international transactions, “don’t’ know” may cause unexpected tax

Even significant amount of taxes can be manageable if it is expected before the transaction. However, unexpected tax has generally a large impact to the profit from the transaction even if it is small amount.

To avoid such unexpected tax, it is necessary to involve a tax specialist who is specialized with taxation related to unusual transactions and/or international transactions.

We will support you in order to minimize unexpected tax arising from your “don’t know”.

― International tax services

With the globalization of business activities, cross-border transactions are increasing. The different tax issues occur in each stage of the transaction in the different jurisdiction

If you “don’t know” the tax issues which occurs in each stage of transaction, unexpected tax may be imposed.

Japanese taxation is especially quite unique and complicated. However, there are only limited number of the tax specialist who can support foreign based companies with the international tax knowledge in English languages.

― Indirect tax service

Indirect tax such as consumption tax should generally not be a cost for the enterprise (both individual and company) conducting the business. However, in the international transactions, indirect tax could become the cost for the enterprise or additional cost need to be borne in order to avoid the indirect tax unexpectedly due to “don’t know”.

The impact on indirect tax is increasing as the high tax rate in foreign countries and changing the consumption tax regulation in Japan. It often happens that the unexpected indirect tax amount exceeds the benefits obtained from the transaction.

― Reorganisation

Reorganisation generally means the mergers, demerger, business transfers, contribution in kind, share for share exchanges (Kabushiki-Kokan) or share for share transfer (Kabushiki-Iten) etc. Although these transactions cannot be a general transaction, we believe that you may consider at least once when expanding business activities.
Reorganization itself is complicated, and at the same time, its taxation is also very complicated. There could be a reorganization scheme which is legally feasible but taxable, which leads the additional tax due to “don’t know”.
